Paul Finebaum had Tony Barnhart from CBS Sports on his show today and he said that Missouri has always been the only 14th SEC desired team with an offer. He also said that FSU, Clemson, WVU, Virginia Tech were never under consideration.
He then mentioned that the SEC will wait and they are prepared to keep the league at 13 with TA&M if Missouri does not accept. SEC has already taken the steps to create an off balanced schedule although they prefer to balance it out with Missouri...
I have no idea if Mizzou will end up in the SEC - I actually think the odds are that they stay put in the Big 12. But I have heard enough smoke from both Mizzou and SEC insiders at this point to believe that an offer/invite/suggestion/whatever has definitely been made to let Mizzou know they have a spot in the conference if they want it.
